Our clients don’t have the most resources. Often they don’t have a single in-house marketing person. And they are competing against bigger and better-resourced competition. They are the underdogs. It is our job to find innovative, creative, and smart ways to help them outmaneuver the competition. Our clients are small service businesses in a variety of industries (from IT services to pest control). . We're looking for someone who thrives a fast-paced environment with high standards and a lot of autonomy. You'll spend a lot of your time building out low-fidelity mockups (UX, CRO, copywriting).

As you get familiar with the process, you'll be responsible for making our website design process more effective (improve conversion rate of client sites) and more efficient (reduce time to create websites). You'll also be tasked with improving client sites post-launch. As we learn what works for one client, we can roll those learnings out to other clients..
